sharpness schmarpness

I take a lot of sharp images.  Sometimes I focus bracket and stack my shots to ensure even more sharpness.

But there are times when a far more artistic approach is needed (see my "Wall Art" post from a couple of weeks ago).  While shooting those "poster" images, I also grabbed a load more shots that I have really enjoyed looking at.

So I figured I'd share some of my favourites with you all.  NB, all bar one were shot on my Nikon Z6 and Petzval modified (see here) Helios 44-2 lens set at its widest f2 aperture.  ISO was glued at 100 and the shutter speed is whatever it was!

This last image was shot on my Olympus OM-D E-M1 and 100-400mm lens.  I included it because it was an accidental grab!  I was trying to photograph a winged insect on a cosmos bud, but missed the shot.  This isn't a bad second prize though I hope you agree?
